Today I want to share something very special with you, a blog I happened across called 2 bags fullfrom another blog friend. Vicki's bags, they are full of yarn. Beautiful, scrumptious, incredible yarns that shecollects and uses to knit and decorate little nests. And these little nests of goodness are knitted with loveand are magical and last weekend my newest one called "The Harvest Nest" arrived.
I opened the box and inside was the nest wrapped by hand stamped tissue paper and the beautifulhandcrafted tag (above) was made by her friend Sue.
It's always fun to receive a package in the mail, but even more fun when there is so much attention to detail put into it.
I present to you, The Harvest nest . . . I'll wait while you pick your mouth up off the floor. Isn't it just exquisite!!
She said that in designing the nest, she wanted to create a collection of yarns that would representa sunny walk in the woods on a crisp, cool Autumn day. And she did just that.

She even nestled a small tin heart, between the glittery acorn and the sunflower . . .
More details . . . 
Yarns, ribbons, and even beads . . . I like to display mine on a candle holder so thatthe yarns dangle. I'm looking forward to using this on my Thanksgiving table!
And I even found the perfect
Vicki said, "Because this is such a special nest - a nest that represents the bounty and of blessingsabundant", she is donating the charitable profits to a group of knitting women at her church. They will thenuse the money towards buying more yarn to use in knitting things to keep others warm this winter.
Thank you Vicki, for sharing your time and talents with all of us. I hope you'll hop on over and checkout her blog (at the link I gave above).
Hope your week is going well!
Love, KimXO
